Our denomination, the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, is calling churches to set aside Monday, June 8, as a day of lament, fasting and prayer to cry out to God for his forgiveness and help in the midst of this crisis in the United States. During this time it is appropriate for the church to lament to the Lord, to fast, and to pray about how we as believers in Jesus Christ can be part of the solution to racism, inequality and injustice. We are called to humble ourselves and pray to almighty God for His grace, mercy, and love to heal the divisions in our country, and especially for God’s people to repent of the sin of racism. We will gather in Fellowship Hall for a time of lament and prayer and invite you to join in as we mourn with those who mourn.
